    Have you ever said something about food or your body in front of your kid — and felt that instant pang of regret? Most parents have.

You'll learn: — What "fat talk" is and why most parents do it without realizing — Why labeling foods as "good" or "bad" backfires (and a better way to frame it) — A simple 3-step playbook for when your kid says "I'm fat" or "I hate my body" — Fast, practical phrase swaps you can start using today This isn't about being a perfect parent. It's about being an intentional one. Because the goal isn't one big conversation — it's a hundred small moments that add up. New episodes every week. Subscribe so you never miss one.
